Useful information - - - but - - - - it was Fedora that I moved FROM and it
was DEBIAN that I moved TO some 15 or so years ago.

That the documentation is late or poor or hasn't caught up - - - - its that
'the new normal'?  (Has been for as long as I've been using Linux.)

I'll wait for a while - - - things will shake out further.
Bleeding edge stuff has really lost its appeal.

This is good news though.
(Wonder how the hdmi code that would be used on that Pi is going to work -
- - - I'm having issues with HDMI and nouveau - - - - anyone 'know'?)
